I know there's some really knowledgeable folks reading here and I'm always amazed at the speed at which coins get identified. Here's a coin that's quite worn, the obverse is badly worn and the reverse is barely visible. Here are 2 pictures, one with a penny to show the size.

I'm seeing the double-headed Austrian eagle, but I'd like to see the other side to be sure.

The two-headed eagle looks rather Austrian.

Like this kreuzer.

I believe this is a Bohemian 1 kreuzer. I have a very similar one.

Here's the obverse. The very few details that are visible seem to match the Austrian Kreuzer. Looking at it closely and looking at the picture, all the visible details from mine match the picture. Good thing there's only one year, then I know which year it was made :P
No clue about the mint mark though.
Thank you all for your help :D
